Have you installed a new door and ask for a new accompanying design? Or, on the contrary, do you want to refresh the old one, which is already useless to paint? Or maybe you just need to throw out the door, refine the opening and close it with a curtain? In general, there is more than one reason to choose solid curtains for the doorway (or light curtains directly on the door) hung on a solid cornice.
A bit in common
It should be noted that curtains for a door are an effective tool that allows you to create your own individual style in the interior in your home or office. The design of the interior space of the room with a curtain on the doorway is carried out according to the universal design canons adopted in different countries. The basic techniques, in general, are simple and are suitable both for spacious apartments of a modern layout, and for compact housing built 20 - 40 years ago.
Curtain-door
Curtain made of twisted cords with inserts
Are interior doors really necessary? If the absence of such does not cause inconvenience, then instead of them it would be good to hang curtains on the doorway, namely:
- hanging curtains (see photo);
- 2 - 3 heavy curtains on the doorway;
- an exquisite designer curtain;
- combined curtain.
The curtain covering the opening (instead of the door) can be made of almost any material. The main thing is that the design in the form of a curtain on the doorway does not irritate the eyes and does not impede freedom of movement.
Do you need a kitchen door?
If it was possible to put an efficient hood above the stove, then instead of a door for the kitchen, a simple curtain made of hygienic material that is easily washed will come down. It is even better if the curtain on the kitchen doorway tolerates frequent washing without losing its appearance, and can revive the kitchen and kitchen interior for a long time.
Victorian designer curtain
A hanging solution for the kitchen will work as well. Moreover, the material of such a "curtain" on the doorway can be almost any:
- synthetic resin tape;
- twisted cord (rope) made of white or colored polypropylene;
- twisted cord made of natural material - abaca (sesal rope), agave (manila), hemp (hemp), linen or cotton
- metal chain;
- combined "chains", for example, "wood + metal" or "glass + metal" or "plastic + metal".
All of this is easy to install and just as easy to remove from time to time for cleaning or washing.
Combined curtain "fabric + chain pendants"
For a built-in wardrobe, the same solutions are perfect as for an interior doorway or for a kitchen. For a built-in bookcase-niche, the standard solution is curtains on the door made of lightweight dense fabric or translucent tulle. If you prefer a solid Victorian interior design, then heavy plush curtains with fringes and other delights will be appropriate. A structure made of hard fabric strips or a simple but stylish "sackcloth" can be used as a curtain for the doors of a clothing chiffonier.
It is appropriate to decorate a kitchen cabinet-pencil case with many curtains - for each shelf its own. Various design options are possible, but in general there are no aesthetic restrictions. In particular, luck depends on your taste and ability to use different materials.
It only remains to add: your more or less voluminous cabinet-niche does not matter. The main thing is that the curtain does not interfere with the use of objects folded into the built-in furniture.
Curtains on the door
Large curtains on the doorway effectively complement the overall design of the room and, if anything, hide the aesthetic imperfections of the door. Even if you hang small curtains on a double-leaf glazed door, they will add their own flavor to the overall mood of the interior (see photo), depending on the color and texture.
Blinds on a double-leaf glazed door
It happens that in a room you want to radically change the style, but at the same time, it is still irrational to replace a door (for example, a balcony), because:
- the previously installed metal-plastic door will not fit into the new style in color,
- metal-plastic will not fit into the new style either in shape or color;
- it takes too much money to replace the door,
- the door cannot be painted.
In this case, it is enough to hang curtains corresponding to the new design and hiding the "defect" of the old door. Sometimes the whole decoration is a light curtain (even a tulle curtain) on the same light (easily-assembled) string cornice. There are no style restrictions - door curtains are welcome in minimalist Japanese, luxurious Victorian, cheerful Mexican, and laconic Scandinavian interiors. In general, when choosing a curtain for "non-stylish" doors, focus mainly on its compliance with the new style.
Full-fledged, exquisite curtains for doors are inappropriate except for a kitchen (especially a small one), but if you are lucky to acquire a spacious kitchen-dining room, then the neat curtains on the door shown in the photo are what you need. And, if the door is more solid (or even double-leaf), then, perhaps, for its luxurious design, you will have to hang a new cornice. As in the case of windows, above the door, the cornice is placed above the opening at a distance of 7 - 13 cm. On the sides of the doorway, the edges of the cornice should protrude 15 cm plus or minus.
Do you want curtains for the doors of a built-in wardrobe, but doubt - is it necessary? The decision is very strongly influenced here:
- Your personal taste,
- general design of the room,
- structural and decorative features of the door to the closet,
- user habits.
Depending on the design of the room (room, hallway, kitchen), the curtain for the closet doors can be hung either on a special cornice or directly on the door frame. That is, it is possible to realize the plan with little effort.
Curtain door
They are appropriate in any interior, so they will not spoil even the exquisite Mediterranean or rich Victorian design. In the Art Nouveau style (and also in the laconic Scandinavian or minimalist Japanese design), sliding doors are what you need.
Modern curtains-doors successfully complement the classic interior
In general, quite different designs fall under the definition of "Curtain-type doors":
- folding ("accordion") of rigid elements;
- folding curtain made of soft material;
- roll (roller shutter / roller shutter);
- sliding doors-walls (like Japanese shoji or fusuma).
Perhaps the least versatile are roll-up designs, since they are usually not very convenient for a closet (but quite suitable for a wardrobe room). In addition, the installation of a rolling door can be difficult and you will have to call a specialist. The rest of the listed "curtains" close the doorway of the room or kitchen (as well as the hallway, loggia and built-in wardrobe) rather reliably. At the same time, using them is as easy as using an ordinary swing door, and the installation of such a curtain can be within the power of an ordinary person.
Prompt service and quick installation of almost any type of curtain door is now possible in many medium-sized and all large cities of our country. Residents of the province may have to pay for the arrival of an installer or hang such "curtains" on the doorway themselves.
